Rehll told police he had at least seven drinks before he showed several people his new handgun. He said he removed the magazine and the round in the chamber, but the gun later fired when Bruno reached up and put her hand under his.

Rehll said he couldn't recall why he pulled the trigger or what led to the shooting. Bruno died at the scene.

The defense had asked for house arrest, saying Rehll had received counseling and was remorseful.
